Hi,
I have never really felt good about the validation framework of JSF (and
Struts for that matter). The problem is that you are forced to put
validation logic into your view layer, which in the case of JSF means
polluting your jsp with validator tags.
This becomes especially problematic
I think the complaint about the validation framework of
JSF is only half right.
It's bad that validation rules are specified in the view,
and especially bad that they're specified in the actual
JSP.
However, it's absolutely correct that validation *happens*
in the view. For example, how are
h:inputText value=#{myBean.foo}/
... and then have:
/**
* @greaterThan 5
* @lessThan 15
*/
public int getFoo() { ... }
This seems the right way to go; PropertyVetoExceptions, not so
much.
That would indeed be the ideal way, but we are clearly not there yet.
There is
